Blue Jays designated hitter Lyle Blakesley left his mark on his team's 5-4 win over the Kansas City Dust Devils. Blakesley went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for St. Catharines in the contest. St. Catharines reliever Andy Mahoney picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Mario Paruzzi was saddled with the loss. With the victory, the Blue Jays upped their record to 46-29.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Marcos Gutierrez? The St. Catharines catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-3. For the game, Gutierrez had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We ground out the win," said Gutierrez. "That's all that matters."
